:grump.on THIS. If you reply, include ONLY the relevant portion of the note you’re replying to. It focuses your reply on the important part of what you’re trying to say. We don’t need to see 11 copies of the required disclaimers, etc. It’s a continuation of good behavior (a la Emily Postnews) and saves space and time. If you need context, the messages are in the list archives. :egrump. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
